[quote=Anonymous]A lot of mental health issues boil over when babies are on the way. Could be depression, alcoholism and a host of other things.

I assume this was a planned on both parts pregnancy? I ask because when it happens by accident that is all the more likely to set things off. Yes, he is responsible because you made the baby together, but in terms of feeling out of control/resentment/worry about affording the baby/not wanting 2 kids, etc it would be all the more likely to push someone over the edge who appeared stable before.

I would find out if he still works there. I would encourage him to get to a doctor, but do it in a loving way not a threatening way. I would also start planning how you will manage if you have an unemployed husband who cannot get it together. Explore your options. Can you afford cobra insurance? How much of a safety net do you have? You could just explode and torment him, but if he is mentally or physically ill that will just be abusive behavior.   This may be your emergency situation where you will have to access emergency funds or start getting used to food banks.

I am so sorry you are going through this.[/quote]
